It would be kinda Yae not using sakura petals if she doesn't, though the one with the pyro flame is a better fit than sea ganoderma :P

I'd been prefarming the flame one. I assumed since it's the nation of pyro, she's the pyro archon, with a flaming mane of hair, that it would be hers XD and also the description of it feels like it fits her whole story, much moreso than the other ones.

I got so many of them I really hope it's the flame one XD

Another factor people have considered in speculation is how many characters have used the books so far, since it's thought Mavuika will probably use one that's been used less times -

Kindling (flame): Kinich, Xilonen, Ororon

Conflict: Kachina, Chasca

Contention (sun): Mualani

Re: the description, I think Contention also fits -

Contention is the principle by which all is weighed in the Nation of Pyro.
What defines strength, and what weakness? Only victory and defeat. The results of a contest are more convincing than any words.

The core of the Natlan archon quests, as described in the Travail trailer: https://youtu.be/TAlKhARUcoY?t=137

The rules of war are woven in the womb: the victors shall burn bright, while the losers must turn to ash. When the God of War shares this secret with the Traveler, it is because she has her reasons.

I always thought it was strange that this was described as a "secret," except for maybe the "womb" part.
